Navy Nurse Home On Furlough Relates
Experiences During 18 Years of Service
Feeding deer at Nara, Japan;
aboard the Empress of Asia when lt
grounded for four hours on a reef
near the mouth of the Yangste;
drinking conditioned milk, metallic
ln taste, because of the dearth of cows;
climbing the Great Wall of China; entering one of the greatest harbors of
the world,—Hong Kong, by night;
and training girls of Spanish descent-
named Guadalupe, Rosalia, Brlgida,
Remedio, Cataline and Natlvldad,—
all these memories came tumbling
over each other in the mind of Ella
Rothermel. Navy Nurse, when vIe-
lted by the Inquiring Reporter. A
daughter of Mrs. Anna Rothermel,
Walnut street, she has given 18 years
of service to the Navy, a year of
which she spent in Guam and another
ln Manila, with a 40 day leave in the
Orient.
The Island of Guam, eight by 16
miles in size, eon tains much of beauty, with its flame trees, hibiscus and
the travelers' palm, and the calm and
storm of the surrounding sea.
Predominately Catholic, holy days
and religious fiestas are made much
of, and processions are many and fantastic, the images enclosed in a casket, or borne aloft on the shoulders
of the marchers.
The temperature hovers around 85.
The streets for the most part are
winding; and the houses, many of
them on stilts, have palm-matting
sides, and roofs either thatched or of
tin or tile.
"The Island has improved steadily," Miss Rothermel said, "since the
United States established a large hospital there, and an experimental station." During her 12 months of service, beds totaled 150, and the staff
comprised eiuht doctors, seven American nurses and 22 student nurses.
The native girls are apt, she discovered, and after graduation, help not
a little in lettering living conditions.
The u. S. government provides a
I health ship, the U. S. S. Gold Star,
i which makes periodical tours of the
| surrounding areas. A chaplain Is also
' an important member of the Navy
' personnel. The hospital at Manila,
! where she also served, had a 300 bed
I capacity. Screens are used in place
of windows, and canvas "drops"
j during bad weather.
The beast of burden Is the carabao,
j of the water-buffalo type, that is used
| not only for plowing and for hauling
: two-wheeled carts, but is often en-
! tered in races, the driver standing
j barefoot on its back. "You can ima-
j gine how funny those contests are,"
] she- said with a laugh, "for the crea-
| tures are so big and clumsy!" Nor
| would she venture a guess at their
' speed!
Cock-fighting is also a major sport
! among the natives, while other na-
' tionals indulge in deep-sea fishing,
} boxing, water carnivals, golfing,
' bridge and dances. There is also keen
! rivalry among the Navy, Marines,
j Aviators and Cubs.
One of the chief industries has to
I do with copra, the shell of the cocoa-
! nut, which is sun-dried on matting,
' in the streets; corn is grown all year
I round; and washing, done in streams,
j is dried on palm leaves stretched
across racks, in dooryards.
There is a jail on the Island, from
which there is no escape, and many
of the prisoners are employed at the
! government's experimental station.
The Island also boasts the "Guam
i Recorder" printed monthly "for the
I progress, education and development
I in this Island." The edition containing the news of the arrival of Miss
j Rothermel, included an editorial "For
I a Greater Guam;" a social column;
; news from the departments of edu-
1 cation, industries and public works;
I and news of the Agricultural Experimental Station; not to mention the

Seeing Eye Dog And
Master Visit Here
Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Oswald recently
entertained Guy Houser, Palmyra,
aged 30, and six feet six inches in
height, who was blinded while at
Wfjrk as a dynamiter, for a well-digging concern, near Allentown.
He was accompanied by his Seeing
Eye Dog, a German Shepherd,
trained at Morristown, N. J., and
•Mch anticipates his every need.
The "Seeing Eye" movement be-
Ban in Germany, and has spread to
the United States, where in the New
■Jersey city, the dogs are trained
at a cost of $1,000. Blind folks, however, are able, through philanthropic
gifts on the part of thousands of
friends of the movement, to procure
them for $100. Before purchasing
them, the blind are required to spend
at least a month with their dog, at
the New Jersey headquarters.
So great has been the demand for
the faithful canines, that both male
and female ones are trained, although experience has proved that
the female is the more attentive.
Nor can a "Seeing Eye" dog be
tooled, once, for example, a bystander shut his eyes, and placing
"is hand on the dog's harness, bade
b.mTlead him t0 a specified spot near-
v- The dog however, led him "spang"
lnto a stone wall!

A unique recital combining an informal talk on the history of masks,

Vienna, Cracow, San Francisco and
New York City. He started to make
masks in 1913, but they were not

reproductions were published in Vanity Fair. Since then, he has illustrated

Wm. (Lone Star) Dietz Tells!
of His Experiences During \
24 Years of Coaching
William H. (Lone Star) Dietz, Al-1
bright College Football Coach was i
the weekly speaker at the Kutztown I
Rotary Club meeting held last eve- j
ning at the Keystone Hotel.
Mr. Dietz during his forty-five min-1
ute presentation related many worth-1
while experiences that he had during
his 24 years of football coaching. He
recalled his experiences with the
Carlisle Indian Football team of 1912
which in those days was considered
one of the leading football teams in
the country, then headed by that
popular player Jim Thorpe. "Those
were the days when we did not wear
football helmets," declared Mr. Dietz.
"We relied a great deal upon our long
flowing black hair to carry us to
victory and prove spectacular when
we made long end runs. Then our
team," stated Mr. Dietz, "consisted of
only 22 players 17 of whom did most
of the work during the entire season. We played twice as many teams
as we do now, with usually a long
post-season of games arranged for
after our regular schedules, and ln
many instances with some of the
strongest teams in the country."
Mr. Dietz during all of these years
became known in all parts of the

Feature Annual Penny Circus At High School
After twilight, Tuesday, there was
a low murmuring 'round the entrance
of Kutztown High School; then a
shout as the lights went on and the
march to the bleachers began; giggles, then, at the antics of clowns;
and finally groans, not to mention
shrieks and shivers, as the braver
ones clasped the icy fingers of the
"Living Dead" and looked straight
into the awful eyes of the "Wild
Man."
It was the annual Penny Circus
for the 300 children of the grades,
staged by the Girls' Athletic Association of Kutztown High School.
Admission was but a penny; Fish
Pond packages, at a nickle, brought
forth such surprises as a copy of
Percy Crosby's book, "Skippy;" penny
candy was to be had in abundance;
and candled apples, prepared in tbe
"Home Ec" kitchen, met with ready
sale at three cents each.
There was a Pumpkin Hunt, the

prize; Fortune Telling by means of a

Mrs. Paul Taylor, missionary to

by the fine youth of the Orient,
"hence do not slacken your zeal or
your work for the Orient."
The Woman's Missionary Society
of Zion's, Maxatawny, was hostess,
and between the morning and afternoon sessions, the members served
soup and coffee, to supplement the

K. S. T. C. STUDENTS
TO TRAVEL IN STYLE
Faculty and students of K. S. T.
C. are on the alert for the first chug
of the de luxe, streamlined, ultramarine blue, Diamond T bus, recently
purchased for $4,300 by the Student
Cooperative Association, from the activities fund. The new acquisition accommodates 32 passengers and has
a spacious baggage compartment.
Adequate and altogether satisfying
transportation will therefore be
available not only to the football
and other teams, but for art pilgrimages, and journeys to concerts, plays
and the like!
And, as the "Keystone" has it,
"Mr. Sittler, who is an employee of
the college, will probably pop the
buttons off his vest in justified pride
over the fact that he will be the
guiding hand behind its wheel."
ARLINE SMITH IS
SLIGHTLY IMPROVED
Arline Smith, Philadelphia, daughter of the late Dr. George B. Smith,
former Reformed pastor of the Maxatawny charge, who has a severe
attack of typhoid fever, is slightly

The Association sponsored a card i
party Tuesday afternoon at the home

Within two days, the Reading Hospital Auxiliary had as Its guest speaker Heber Ermentrout, former mayor
of Reading, now field secretary of
the hospital; conducted a large card
party at the Keystone House; and
made plans for its annual dinner
which will be open to the public,
November llth, at the home of its
president, Mrs. Annie Zimmerman.
At the Auxiliary meeting, October
13th, at the home of Mrs. Edward
Miles, vvith Mrs. Jay Fairchild as
co-hostess, Mr. Ermentrout gave an
informative talk on the hospital,—
Its personnel and methods. He informed the Auxiliary that the cost
of maintenance is tremendous, due
to the fact that 52 per cent of its
patients are 100 per cent charity ones.
He also explained that almost 50 per
cent of the medical care given, Is for
the people of Berks County, outside
of Reading,—In communities such as
Kutztown. Two other guests were
present, Mrs. John C. Seltzer, organizer of auxiliaries, and Mrs. Edward
Mark, both of Reading, who also
spoke. Mrs. Charles H. Esser made
a plea for the coming Christmas Seal
campaign, and urged the members
"to buy until it hurts, and get your
husbands and friends to do likewise."
She also stressed the giving of tuberculin tests to children. Two new
members, Mrs. Samuel Angstadt and
Mrs. Warren Chamberlain were welcomed.
The dinner will be held from 6 to
7 p. m. Armistice Day, tickets for
which may be obtained from officers
and members. The menu, to be served
Berks county style, will feature sauer
kraut and pork, in generous portions.

College Supervisor
On Month's Tour
Miss Esther Jastram, supervisor of
student teaching and rural education
expert, of Kutztown State Teachers
College, had a months' educational
tour, recently, which included visits
to NoVia Scotia, Cape Breton Island
and New Brunswick, and a first hand
study of the merits of the cooperative
system of buying and selling the
necessities of life. More than 50 were
in the party, including a number of
Negro educators, whose Spirituals
made a deep impression upon the
citizens of the maritime Islands. Still
others were from South Africa, the
West Indies, and the middle and far
west. The leader of the party was
Mabel Carney, noted international
authority on rural education, who has
made numerous expeditions to other
lands. The tour was made possible
through the cooperation of the Federal Council of Churches.
At Fredericton, N.B. Normal
School, the party was treated to a
program of Highland folk dances,
complete with the kilted costumes of
the Stewart, Campbell and other
clans, and an expert fiddler. Similar
costumes, priced later ln the shops,
cost from $35 to $50 each.
The educationalists also took time
out for conferences on rural problems; discussions of Cooperatives;
and for visits to handcraft shops,—
the new patterns of the hooked rug
making a special appeal to the women ln tbe party.

Navy Nurse Home On Furlough Relates
Experiences During 18 Years of Service
Feeding deer at Nara, Japan;
aboard the Empress of Asia when lt
grounded for four hours on a reef
near the mouth of the Yangste;
drinking conditioned milk, metallic
ln taste, because of the dearth of cows;
climbing the Great Wall of China; entering one of the greatest harbors of
the world,—Hong Kong, by night;
and training girls of Spanish descent-
named Guadalupe, Rosalia, Brlgida,
Remedio, Cataline and Natlvldad,—
all these memories came tumbling
over each other in the mind of Ella
Rothermel. Navy Nurse, when vIe-
lted by the Inquiring Reporter. A
daughter of Mrs. Anna Rothermel,
Walnut street, she has given 18 years
of service to the Navy, a year of
which she spent in Guam and another
ln Manila, with a 40 day leave in the
Orient.
The Island of Guam, eight by 16
miles in size, eon tains much of beauty, with its flame trees, hibiscus and
the travelers' palm, and the calm and
storm of the surrounding sea.
Predominately Catholic, holy days
and religious fiestas are made much
of, and processions are many and fantastic, the images enclosed in a casket, or borne aloft on the shoulders
of the marchers.
The temperature hovers around 85.
The streets for the most part are
winding; and the houses, many of
them on stilts, have palm-matting
sides, and roofs either thatched or of
tin or tile.
"The Island has improved steadily," Miss Rothermel said, "since the
United States established a large hospital there, and an experimental station." During her 12 months of service, beds totaled 150, and the staff
comprised eiuht doctors, seven American nurses and 22 student nurses.
The native girls are apt, she discovered, and after graduation, help not
a little in lettering living conditions.
The u. S. government provides a
I health ship, the U. S. S. Gold Star,
i which makes periodical tours of the
| surrounding areas. A chaplain Is also
' an important member of the Navy
' personnel. The hospital at Manila,
! where she also served, had a 300 bed
I capacity. Screens are used in place
of windows, and canvas "drops"
j during bad weather.
The beast of burden Is the carabao,
j of the water-buffalo type, that is used
| not only for plowing and for hauling
: two-wheeled carts, but is often en-
! tered in races, the driver standing
j barefoot on its back. "You can ima-
j gine how funny those contests are,"
] she- said with a laugh, "for the crea-
| tures are so big and clumsy!" Nor
| would she venture a guess at their
' speed!
Cock-fighting is also a major sport
! among the natives, while other na-
' tionals indulge in deep-sea fishing,
} boxing, water carnivals, golfing,
' bridge and dances. There is also keen
! rivalry among the Navy, Marines,
j Aviators and Cubs.
One of the chief industries has to
I do with copra, the shell of the cocoa-
! nut, which is sun-dried on matting,
' in the streets; corn is grown all year
I round; and washing, done in streams,
j is dried on palm leaves stretched
across racks, in dooryards.
There is a jail on the Island, from
which there is no escape, and many
of the prisoners are employed at the
! government's experimental station.
The Island also boasts the "Guam
i Recorder" printed monthly "for the
I progress, education and development
I in this Island." The edition containing the news of the arrival of Miss
j Rothermel, included an editorial "For
I a Greater Guam;" a social column;
; news from the departments of edu-
1 cation, industries and public works;
I and news of the Agricultural Experimental Station; not to mention the

Seeing Eye Dog And
Master Visit Here
Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Oswald recently
entertained Guy Houser, Palmyra,
aged 30, and six feet six inches in
height, who was blinded while at
Wfjrk as a dynamiter, for a well-digging concern, near Allentown.
He was accompanied by his Seeing
Eye Dog, a German Shepherd,
trained at Morristown, N. J., and
•Mch anticipates his every need.
The "Seeing Eye" movement be-
Ban in Germany, and has spread to
the United States, where in the New
■Jersey city, the dogs are trained
at a cost of $1,000. Blind folks, however, are able, through philanthropic
gifts on the part of thousands of
friends of the movement, to procure
them for $100. Before purchasing
them, the blind are required to spend
at least a month with their dog, at
the New Jersey headquarters.
So great has been the demand for
the faithful canines, that both male
and female ones are trained, although experience has proved that
the female is the more attentive.
Nor can a "Seeing Eye" dog be
tooled, once, for example, a bystander shut his eyes, and placing
"is hand on the dog's harness, bade
b.mTlead him t0 a specified spot near-

Wm. (Lone Star) Dietz Tells!
of His Experiences During \
24 Years of Coaching
William H. (Lone Star) Dietz, Al-1
bright College Football Coach was i
the weekly speaker at the Kutztown I
Rotary Club meeting held last eve- j
ning at the Keystone Hotel.
Mr. Dietz during his forty-five min-1
ute presentation related many worth-1
while experiences that he had during
his 24 years of football coaching. He
recalled his experiences with the
Carlisle Indian Football team of 1912
which in those days was considered
one of the leading football teams in
the country, then headed by that
popular player Jim Thorpe. "Those
were the days when we did not wear
football helmets," declared Mr. Dietz.
"We relied a great deal upon our long
flowing black hair to carry us to
victory and prove spectacular when
we made long end runs. Then our
team," stated Mr. Dietz, "consisted of
only 22 players 17 of whom did most
of the work during the entire season. We played twice as many teams
as we do now, with usually a long
post-season of games arranged for
after our regular schedules, and ln
many instances with some of the
strongest teams in the country."
Mr. Dietz during all of these years
became known in all parts of the

Feature Annual Penny Circus At High School
After twilight, Tuesday, there was
a low murmuring 'round the entrance
of Kutztown High School; then a
shout as the lights went on and the
march to the bleachers began; giggles, then, at the antics of clowns;
and finally groans, not to mention
shrieks and shivers, as the braver
ones clasped the icy fingers of the
"Living Dead" and looked straight
into the awful eyes of the "Wild
Man."
It was the annual Penny Circus
for the 300 children of the grades,
staged by the Girls' Athletic Association of Kutztown High School.
Admission was but a penny; Fish
Pond packages, at a nickle, brought
forth such surprises as a copy of
Percy Crosby's book, "Skippy;" penny
candy was to be had in abundance;
and candled apples, prepared in tbe
"Home Ec" kitchen, met with ready
sale at three cents each.
There was a Pumpkin Hunt, the
finder of the black one winning the
prize; Fortune Telling by means of a

by the fine youth of the Orient,
"hence do not slacken your zeal or
your work for the Orient."
The Woman's Missionary Society
of Zion's, Maxatawny, was hostess,
and between the morning and afternoon sessions, the members served
soup and coffee, to supplement the
box lunches of the 115 delegates.

K. S. T. C. STUDENTS
TO TRAVEL IN STYLE
Faculty and students of K. S. T.
C. are on the alert for the first chug
of the de luxe, streamlined, ultramarine blue, Diamond T bus, recently
purchased for $4,300 by the Student
Cooperative Association, from the activities fund. The new acquisition accommodates 32 passengers and has
a spacious baggage compartment.
Adequate and altogether satisfying
transportation will therefore be
available not only to the football
and other teams, but for art pilgrimages, and journeys to concerts, plays
and the like!
And, as the "Keystone" has it,
"Mr. Sittler, who is an employee of
the college, will probably pop the
buttons off his vest in justified pride
over the fact that he will be the
guiding hand behind its wheel."
ARLINE SMITH IS
SLIGHTLY IMPROVED
Arline Smith, Philadelphia, daughter of the late Dr. George B. Smith,
former Reformed pastor of the Maxatawny charge, who has a severe
attack of typhoid fever, is slightly
improved.
